What Uvalde County Felony Records Show

Felony case files in Uvalde County contain court documents from start to finish. The first document is usually the indictment or information, which lays out the charges. From there, the file grows with each court action taken in the case.

A typical Uvalde County felony record includes the defendant's full name and date of birth, the specific charges with statute references, the case number and filing date, names of the prosecutor and defense attorney, all hearing and trial dates, any bond or bail conditions, plea entered by the defendant, verdict if the case went to trial, and the final sentence or disposition.
